Those words that everyone knows
But my thoughts get mangled
And all the words get tangled
But since you asked me, here goes
You're awful!
Awful good to look at
Awful nice to be with
Awful sweet to have and hold
You're nothing
Nothing if not lovely
Nothing if not dazzling
Nothing but pure gold
You're frightening
Frightening me when you say
That you might go away
You're boring
Boring into my heart to stay
You're cheap, dear
Cheap at any price, dear
Cheap for such a diamond
Cheap for such a pearl
What I said before, I'll say again
You're awful
Awful nice to be my girl
You're old, dear
Old with worldly wisdom
Old like gorgonzola
Old like vintage French champagne
You're so so
So so kind of charming
So so kind of witty
So I can't explain
Can't stand you
I can't stand you to give some fellow the eye
Can't see you in the arms of another guy
Who needs you?
Needs you to distraction
Needs you to this crazy
Needs you rain or shine
I'm the one who needs you
And I think you're awful
Awful nice to say you're mine
